Treatment Recommendations
Warm stones using a safe, professional method such as a roaster-style warmer, Theratools Warming Tray, or Mobile Warming Bag. Always test the stone on your forearm first—it should feel comfortably warm, never hot. Then, check in with your client before placement to ensure it feels safe and soothing. These stones are ideal for palm placement, still-point holds, or gentle gliding strokes at the beginning or end of a session. Particularly useful for centering and grounding work.
